SANTA & ME - JOLLY HOLIDAYS

Hey All My Craft Friends

Well I finally have the tree up at my house and the lights for the house will be going up later today. Did you hear the big WHO HOO !! I just shouted.... ;0)

 I so love the holidays and the magic of the season. Preparing for Santa's arrival and celebrating Jesus' Birthday all in the same month can for us all be overwhelming, but for me the magic of Christmas and the memories I hold of my childrens faces on Christmas morning will live in my heart forever....

We are planning our trip to see Santa next week with Matthew and I have already done the layout !!! Okay not like me to be so prepared and ahead of the game, but this layout came together so easily.  As I told you in an earlier post I am in love with the new Jolly Holidays Cartridge.... SUPER STINKIN CUTE !!!

Everyone should have this one in there cartridge library...

So on to the layout:

Special thanks to my Scrappin Bestie Kendra aka Scrappin Cricut for inspiring this layout !!

CRICUT CARDZ CHALLENGE #53

Hey All My Crafty Friends

This week over at Cricut Cardz Challenge the design team was asked to make a set of Christmas Cards (2 or more) or a set of gift tags, using any colors or cartridge we wanted.  I was so up for this challenge and knew just what I wanted to use... My new JOLLY HOLIDAYS cartridge I purchased on Black Friday. 

If you haven't already got this cartridge you need to log on to Walmart.com and GET IT !!  It has to be one of the best Christmas cartridges that Cricut has made.  The layering is fairly simple... but the images on this cartridge are just adorable...And so worth buying...So enough with me marketing for Provo Craft and back to my project...WINK ;0)

I chose to make GIFT TAGS...I also used SWEET TREATS to make the tag bases for both of my tags

GIFT TAG # 1

Tag Recipe:

Sweet Treats Tag cut @ 4 inches

K & Company Christmas Cardstock (2010)

Jolly Holidays Ice Skater cut @ 3 1/2 inches
